At the heart of the 2010 Moto Guzzi V7 Classic classic motorcycle, Moto Guzzi features a 744 cc (45.4 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 80.0 x 74.0 mm (3.1 x 2.9 inches) with a 9.6:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the V7 Classic measures 198 kg (437 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
